I want each of you to know how proud I am. Despite the adversity you have been through this season and many seasons before, your attitude and dedication speaks volumes. Not one time this year did I ever question your work ethic or attitude. Each day you came to work and you did so without complaint and with a great attitude. You put in many grueling hours of hard work, sweat and yes, even tears. You learned the definition of what it takes to be mentally tough and the dedication and commitment it takes to make a team work. Now, we may not have seen a huge return but I am faithful that we will. In fact, you are already making returns that may not be visible now but are developing you into more than just a softball player.
Being a softball player is not "who you are" it is just something you do. As you travel throughout your high school career you will find that this experience will add to the person you are and who you will become.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many games we win. Our program is a program that entails more than just the game. It is a program that possesses high character with students that are developing into great people. When you look back at this experience you won't remember the scores, what you will remember is the relationships and the memory of being a part of something special that you can call your family.
Ladies, I want nothing more than for you to become successful people in life. I hope this season was a learning experience for you and that you will come back ready to be contenders next year. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
